Horrible Trojan/Antivirus on my laptop

Hello,

I caught a trojan/virus when visiting a website. I noticed that when the site opened the hourglass began to show and I became weary and was about to go to task manager to quit but my laptop automatically rebooted and I knew I was in trouble. Once I restarted there now was a yellow triangle in the taskbar warning of a security breach...yada yada yada. My computer frooze because the CPU was at 99%. This little bastard even would not allow me to open any programs that usually are used to fix these ailments, such as HJT, eiwido, cwshredder, smitfraud, etc., and when I did searches on google if the results showed any of these names in links the webpage would automatically close, and this would happen to forums also. Well I was given advise to close the explorer.exe and this worked as far as webpages not closing anymore, but my cpu is still at 99%. I can now run Hijackthis and here is my log:

I have run eiwido and it deleted some trojans and viruses but I did not write the these down. I did remember one of them, TR/Dldr.Small.eok.1 . I also ran Search and Destroy, but I did not disable the recovery point setting and when I rebooted same problems. I am on a Dell Latitude D610 running XP SP2.

Tried fixing these with no luck on the 100%CPU drain

Hello,

I tried these fixes and I still have the CPU drain from qttask.exe which is a quicktime executable which has probably been compromised. I am familiar with Acronis and Ewido but that PSIService.exe, I have no idea what it is.

If qttask.exe is causing problems I would just uninstall quicktime and then reinstall (if you need it). It could be that its not infected but it is corrupt. Stuck in an endless loop. You will probably have to kill the process.

If the world doesn't stop annoying me I will name my kids ";DROP DATABASE;" and get revenge.

Google filenames for more info. The first one is suspect, the
second is too new to even turn up in Google (a very bad sign!).

You're running pretty heavy too. Any reason for running two
image apps (Acronis and Ghost)? Quicktime (qttask.exe) isn't
your problem here, but it can be disabled as a startup without
uninstalling it (run msconfig).

This is a new tough bastard spread the word

Well, I don't know where to begin. First, I have tried everything I know and it took forever because before any software or website research can begin you need to kill explorer.exe on your task bar. As far as the main offender licldhyepfwk.dll, HJT will not remove it; Killbox will not kill it; cmd will not let you do anything to it; eiwido will not recognize it; booting in safe mode doesn't affect it; disabling everything on msconfig doesn't touch it; search and destroy nothing; avg nothing; forum solutions, nothing;

All that is left so far is fdisk I guess. I am seriously going to go linux if I can get my laptop hardware going 100%.

HELP!

Did you try an earlier "restore" point?

Linux isn't a bad idea, especially running apps like VMWare and/or Crossover
Office. VMWare of course will let you run Windows as a virtual machine, and
Crossover Office is a WINE app that'll port ass't Windows apps like MS Office
and Photoshop to Linux. I've even run Internet Explorer in Linux thru Crossover
Office (comes in handy now and then). I just loaded the latest version of Ubuntu
and am real happy with it. For now I'm dual booting with XP while I await another
video card from ebay. Once I get the hardware to where I want it in this thing,
I'm thinking about bagging Windows altogether. I'll reinstall Ubuntu and run
XP & 2000 as VM's. I don't get infected as a rule using Windows, but I see more
than my share cr@p on the PC's at work. It's nice to get on a computer and not
have the spyware/virus thing hanging over my head...
